[...] Are you using dial-up with kppp? I recently saw a freeze-then-reboot under KDE 3.5 which was fixed by using ppp (user-mode) rather than kppp (kernel-mode) for dial-up. Tim. Next time instead of a reboot, try Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. that should try a shutdown of the X server ... might save you a hard reboot :) Also are you sure it's KDE? Could it be a weird video driver? Does it happen with other WMs?
